   There are errors in last night's rolling boot.log:

   Switching / to tmpfs...
   Done
   Processing /etc/init.d/rcS...
   wc: invalid option -- 'm'
   BusyBox v1.12.0 (2010-03-12 18:25:03 CET) multi-call binary
   
   Usage: wc [OPTION]... [FILE]...
   
   Print line, word, and byte counts for each FILE, and a total line if
   more than one FILE is specified. With no FILE, read standard input.
   
   Options:
   	-c	Print the byte counts
   	-l	Print the newline counts
   	-L	Print the length of the longest line
   	-w	Print the word counts

   The same thing occurs 11 times in boot.log. So, I looked around and found that ...

   /lib/libtaz.sh
   /usr/libexec/tazpkg/search
   /usr/libexec/tazpkg/upgrade

   ... contain the faulty "wc -m" statement.

   You should update busybox:

   tux@slitaz:~$ busybox | head -n1
   BusyBox v1.30.1 (2019-05-04 15:00:17 CEST) multi-call binary.

   ... oh no! I had completely forgotten about some old stuff I put in my test tree the previous day and then built a new iso with it. That was really stupid, especially because after much research I still couldn't see the obvious, that I had overwritten busybox with a much older version. But it won't happen again, promise!
